Illustrated Explanation! Historical & Metal Entertainment: 'Illustrated Explanation: Faraday's "Unrustable Iron"' Published!

Shuwa System Shinsha (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Noritake Tsushima) will publish its new book, 'Illustrated Explanation: Faraday's "Unrustable Iron"' on April 28, 2026. This book is a historical entertainment piece focusing on the 'metallurgy' research that Michael Faraday, the 'father of electromagnetism' and author of the famous work 'The Chemical History of a Candle,' poured his heart into before dedicating himself to the field of electricity. The author, a metal specialist, has uncovered truths buried in the folds of history by investigating a 'secret wooden box' that lay sealed for 200 years in the basement of the Royal Institution. Set in 19th-century Europe, a time of Napoleon and scientific legends, the book chronicles how a young man who rose from being a bookbinder created 'stainless steel 100 years ahead of its time' and why he sealed it away. Unraveling the mystery of the 'Platinum Lecture,' which was omitted from his famous work, brings to life the adventurous young Faraday, a stark contrast to the portrait on textbooks. It is a passionate 'learning from the past' story for all engineers and lovers of knowledge.
